PLASTIC BAG COLLECTION
Each year, U. S. consumers throw away approximately 100
billion plastic shopping bags, which can take up to 1,000
years to decompose in a landfill. In addition, thousands
of plastic bags are carried by the wind into forests,
rivers, and lakes each year killing birds and mammals
that get tangled in them or mistake them for food.
The environmentally friendly answer is to switch to reusable
sturdy canvas or cloth bags that you bring from home.
If you are not ready to purchase your own reusable bags,
consolidate your purchases into as few bags as possible.
When you get home, keep the plastic bags you brought home
from the store. On your next shopping trip, reuse the
bags or drop them in a plastic bag collection container
to be recycled. Plastic bag collection points are found
in the Acme Markets and Shop Rite Markets throughout Cumberland
County. Contact ddematte@ccia-net.com or rdanna@ccianet.com
if you have questions or know of other plastic bag collection
locations.

The
Cumberland County Improvement Authority has successfully
instituted a recycling
collection program for schools
and government agencies. Our program consists of
two separate
containers, one to collect paper and cardboard and
the other commingled bottles and cans produced at
the participating
facilities. This new program is designed to reduce
costs for the participating public entities and increase
recycling
participation even further. This type of shared service
would ensure an agency is in compliance with the
State’s
recycling laws.
The response to this program has been very positive with
many school districts committing to the program. The first
collection vehicle arrived in August 2006 servicing County
agencies as well as the Millville and Upper Deerfield Township
school districts. Since then, Vineland, Commercial Township,
Fairfield, Greenwich, Maurice River Township, and Stow
Creek school districts have made the commitment to reducing
and recycling in their schools. Efforts continue to reach
out to public and private institutions throughout the county.
The collection vehicle is equipped with a scale to
quantify the facility’s recycling efforts.
In this way, valuable information is obtained on
the amount of material
produced
at each site.
Recyclable
paper and cardboard materials include office paper,
worksheets, unwanted mail, newspaper, copy paper, construction
paper, magazines, catalogs, reports, color paper, shredded
paper, and file folders. Flatten all cardboard boxes.
No art projects with heavy amounts of glue glitter
or paint, paper towels, tissues or napkins or chip
board boxes.
Recycled
commingled materials (bottles and cans) include plastic
containers with the number 1 or 2 in the recycling
symbol. This will always include water bottle and beverage
containers. Aluminum cans, glass containers, empty
aerosol containers, steel cans.
Promoting
this program’s
efforts and accomplishments throughout the year is
key to its
success. The Cumberland
County Improvement Authority can help with outreach efforts
through onsite visits, staff orientation programs, professional
school assembly programs, special contests or in-house
programs promoted by the organization itself. For more
information, contact Dennis DeMatte Jr, Recycling Coordinator,
by phone at 856-825-3700 or by email at ddematte@ccia-net.com.

Farmer Honored
Keith MacIndoe (center), Manager, Johnson Farms, Deerfield,
Cumberland County, accepted the Recycling Leadership Award for Business during
the 27th New Jersey Recycling Symposium and Awards Luncheon in Eatontown. Accompanying
MacIndoe is Dennis DeMatte, Jr., Cumberland County Recycling Coordinator, and
Karen Kritz, Recycling Manager, NJ Department of Agriculture.
Johnson
Farms was recognized by state Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner
Lisa P. Jackson for the steps it has taken to boost recycling in the community
during the past year. The township business was one of eight organizations,
businesses, government entities and individuals in the state honored for their
contributions during the 27th annual New Jersey Recycling Symposium and Awards
Luncheon in Eatontown on October 17, 2007.
The
DEP and the Association of New Jersey Recyclers co-sponsor the event each year.
Jackson said the annual recycling awards provide an opportunity to recognize
the vision and leadership of those who work toward innovative ways to expand
recycling. "These reward recipients are making a difference by keeping
New Jersey on the path to a greener future through recycling," Jackson
said. "There are many good reasons to recycle. It conserves natural resources,
reduces waste, curbs greenhouse emissions, and strengthens the economy."
Johnson Farms was honored in the business category. According
to a DEP press release, "The 2,000-acre nursery and sod farm in Deerfield,
Cumberland County has taken aggressive steps to recycle plastic, starting with
plastic film. Last year, Johnson Farms initiated a program to recycle plastic
nursery pots and plastic netting used in the production of sod."

class at Seabrook School collection of phonebooks ready for recycling. |
In
the past, the Cumberland County Improvement Authority has placed recycling
containers at
various locations
throughout the County for the collection of telephone
books.
There will be no drop-off collection sites for telephone books. This year,
as part of the new “Mix It With Your Newspaper” program, households
will receive new recycling containers in which you can include telephone books,
catalogs, magazines, unwanted mail, shredded paper, and glossy inserts with your
newspaper. These durable plastic containers will be provided to County households
at no charge.
The new
containers will not replace, but will be in addition to, the container residents
currently use to recycle glass, metal and plastic. Residents who
utilize a convenience center may bring their paper in the same manner as they
bring their commingled glass, metal and plastic recyclables.

Guidelines
for the Correct Home Disposal of Syringes
print
this section
ATTENTION CUMBERLAND COUNTY RESIDENTS
South
Jersey Healthcare has introduced a program for people using injectable medications
and other sharp medical items at home.
Residents may drop off these items, by appointment, at
the Bridgeton Health Center, Elmer Hospital or the Regional Medical Center.
They must be in sealed, closed containers that are shatter proof, leak proof
and puncture proof. For more information or to make an appointment, call
the SJH Environmental Services Department at the following location:
Bridgeton Health Center: 856-575-4524
Elmer Hospital: 856-363-1508
Regional Medical Center: 856-641-7510
|
|
Please Remember to Use These Guidelines for the Correct Home Disposal
of Syringes
The proper disposal of syringes used at home is simple but important.
1.
Place used syringes into an empty, puncture
proof container such as a coffee can, soda
bottle, or mayonnaise jar. Please bend the
tip of the needle back to avoid injury.
2.
Replace the lid or cap on the container and
secure with strong tape (such as duct tape) to
prevent accidental opening. Syringe
containers do not need to be labeled.
3.
Place the container in non-clear trash bags
or cans for disposal. Do not put the syringe
container in with your recyclables.
The
disposal of syringes used at home is
governed by law. The improper disposal of
home use syringes may lead to legal action to
protect our trash collectors, children, and the
residents of our County. |

For
More Information Please Call (856) 825-3700
The
Cumberland County Improvement Authority wants to
remind everyone that you should never dispose of
used batteries with your household trash. Batteries
should be recycled because they contain components
that could contaminate ground water sources if not
disposed of properly.
Cumberland County residents have several options
for recycling their used batteries. Household batteries
used in pagers, hearing aids, and other small electronic
devices, as well as automobile batteries may be
recycled at one of our three household hazardous
waste days held throughout the year. Many municipalities
also have local drop-off programs for their residents.
In addition, the Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation has placed recycling boxes inside many
stores. Residents can drop off nickel-cadmium and
nickel-metal-hydride batteries used in cordless
tools, and lithium-ion and small sealed lead acid
batteries found in other portable electronic products.

Pretreatment Facility
Leachate is the end product of rainfall on our
landfill that filters down through the trash and
other solid waste and is collected at the bottom
of the landfill on a liner system. These liners
protect the ground waters below the site. The
Leachate is pumped off the bottom of the landfill
and sent to our Pretreatment Facility for processing.
The treated material is then hauled to the Cumberland
County Utilities Authority where it is processed
even further.

Tire Shredding Area
The tire shedder has two-one hundred horse-powered
electric motors that provide hydraulic power to
shred the tires collected in the county. This
unit can process up to 1,800 car tires per hour
and reduces the tires into 3” x 6”
shreds. Tire shreds will be used at the toe of
slope on active cells as a drainage medium to
facilitate the percolation of storm water to the
Leachate Collection System. This will help to
prevent the formation of mosquito colonies.
